The lines at anime conventions can be a great place to make friends. You stand in line with these people for who knows how long (otakon could be hours), so what better way to pass the time than to talk to people. In the past I have begun to make new friends through standing in line. Anime USA last year while working the line for J. Michael Tatum, I got to not only get a picture of one of the best cosplays of the con that I had seen, but also make a new friend. When I go to conventions I look forward to seeing a dear friend in Maka-Nakita, who not only is a cosplayer but also a model.
When did you begin cosplaying? I did some cosplay when I was kid but didn’t know it and about it till 2006 with some friends.
What was your first cosplay? Favorite? Least Favorite?
My first cosplay was Aerith from Kingdom Hearts 2! It was my least favorite cause it was a quick process made in a rush of two weeks and dyed my hair the wrong color .

What is your favorite part of cosplaying? I get to act and betray my favorite characters and show off my sewing talent that I learned from my mom.
What would you say is the easiest part of cosplaying? How about the hardest? The easiest part is most wigs and hairstyles the hardest I would have to say is the props.
What would you say to the stereotype that cosplayers are weird, or outcasts? They are just jealous that we are talented and they aren’t and we have more friends then them lol
